The Maryland Crabs is a podcast based in Annapolis Maryland which was launched in September 2016 after, quite literally years of hemming and hawing. After a few false starts, many aborted concepts, we just took the plunge, whipped out the credit cards and lit Amazon on fire with equipment orders. And here we are!

This podcast is not about interviews. It’s about topics and conversations of interest to Marylanders!

We are not going to shy away from controversy or discomfort. Valuable conversations can emerge from them. We will not be adversarial for the sake of being adversarial, but you can expect some heated exchanges between Tim and John and Guests–or any combination of those.

About Guests–we're going to have plenty of them! Some will be local or regional in nature--others more broad.

And, we may even take this show on the road. Some night, you might find us propped on a bar stool at the Ebb Tide..or worse!

The Maryland Crabs took over the Wine Room at the Blackwall
Hitch in the heart of Eastport during Primary Election Night to
wait out the results along with wide-ranging cast of political
players and observers to wait out the results. While noshing on the
distractingly ridiculous creations by Chef Jonathan Seningen, our
charming hostess and stage manager for the evening, Lea Hurt,
ushered in a veritable who’s-who in the world of Annapolis
politics…

And we would like to especially thank Dr. Dan Nataf from AACC

insight in to the political process and strategies that brought us
